Wednesday Oci RES Lets stop whining were well off t you sick to death of the gloom and doom the media is imposing on us lam Lets have a little light and cheer in the country Tor a change Sure our economic situation is a mess Of course we have high Naturally inflation is not wrestled to the ground but has us pinned two rounds out of three But this is happening all over the world and were about per cent bet ter off than most of the rest of the people in said world Do you live on a sampan in Singapore or HongKong existing on a handful of rice a day Those people dont have high mortgage rates high Interest rates They have nothing except what native cunning and hard work feed thetr bellies Does a nice lady in Somaliland or Eritrea bring you into the office and chat about which welfare program you should apply for Your children are eating mud because theres nothing else Are you stuck in Ulster as a Catholic without a hope of getting a lob from the Protestants your children dirty hungry growing as vicious as small animals who are starving Are you black with a good chance of getting your head pulverized by a white policeman if you say anything but Yes sir Are your suffering from nerves and taking all kinds of pills from your very well fed doctor while millions of people in the world have rickets and ringworm and elephantiasis and by Bill Smiley bleeding bowels because they dont even know what a vitamin pill looks like Are your little boys running around barefoot in the rain selling their sisters for a cigarette or a chocolate bar Nope they are probably riding around on bicycles and whining their allowance doesnt run to more than a carton of french fries and a Dairy Queen every day Are you worried about whether you should spend ISO or a little more on a wedding present when in most tries most mothers are wondering whether a cow or a bushel of is a suitable dowry And hey havent a cow or any ma lie Tut and tut and tut We are in an economic depression many people are unemployed our government seems to be living in Alice in Wonderland with lis ridiculous six and five desperate attempt lo appear credible But when have you last missed a meaP When have you beer cold cold cold When Is the last time some cop stopped you on the street and asked for identity papers When is the last time somebody pounded on your door at am and you shivered with fear knowing what was coming When have you last been hit on the head with a club for saying Trudeau Is a fink Theres lots wrong with this country but there is a hell of a lot more right with It when we take a look around We read about farmers and small businessmen and trig companies going broke Well thats the capitalist system and thats the system we em brace We dont hear much when the far mers have a bumper crop andspend the We seldom hear about the small business man whos making a quiet fortune unless hes suddenly become an entre preneur and is a DIG businessman We scarcely hear a word when a huge com makes a huge profit But now the tears are flowing we need a Walling Wall located about Winnipeg and thousands of paper towels to wipe up the tears Help from the government means help from you and me Come on Canadian lets stop whining My father and mother didnt whine during the Big Depression They did the best they could and desperately tried to avoid going on Relief now euphemistically called Welfare Get rid of your boat Sell your second car There is such a thing as walking Cut your kids allowance to zilch and let hem earn It by working So you like stead Stop buying that crap from California and Florida in the winter lettuce for SO mostly water grapes oranges celery those Utile hard bitter tomatoes Eat spuds and porridge Theyre good for you Dig a root cellar under your patio deck and flit It wilh carrots and turnips Gel a couple of chickens and if they dont lay eat them Cut out those longdistance calls about nothing and write a letter Wear a sweater and keep your thermostat down We can lick inflation but not by living the way we do We can lick unemploy with some guts But not govern ment guts There arent any And if youre out of work take your I but get looking for something else This country still has limitless op portunities it you want to work Ask the immigrants If you dont youll become like those millions in Britain during the firs I depression who just
